I cannot wait for this fig. Personally I like the Civil War colours more. It strikes me as less garish.

I give another vote for the civil war colors.

The WW1 versions seems to have a awful glaring neon puple high light color thing going on that reminds me too much of Generation 2.

SOLUTION: Since i'll be buying 2 of this toy,release it in both color schemes.

Update: I take back my comment/suggestion on them making both color schemes. Since I'll be buying 2,I prefer to get 2 of the Civil war colors.

I would go with Civil War colors but why not offer both?

Still, if I can spare whatever organ I'll have to sell to get this, it will be mine! But if they're at the "which color?" stage we probably have at least 6 months to go.

Civil War, hands down.
I don't like the neon purple of the WWI, and to me it doesn't seem to be so consistent with the IDW colors too...

I like the Civil War colors better, Sixshot (sadly) wasn't in WFC so he doesn't need those Energon veins in my opinion.

WHAT?!

Oh com’on! we get the first six changer since RID Galvatron and Megs’ and its based upon the original six changer Sixshot and they can’t decide the color scheme?

Headmasters/G1 ALL THE WAY!!!
Also repaints with remolds as: Sixknight, Greatshot, Quickswitch

Civil War. The added highlight in the other version only make him took tacky, and not really add to the figure. The Civil War one looks more like Sixshot anyways.

Read up. He is only one of the most bad-arsed G1 characters ever. The first character (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong) to have more than 3 modes.

It's impossible to tell which one looks better when they're presented on completely different backgrounds--one with a big white burst, the other all dark. They need to put them both on the same plain, preferably white or similarly neutral background to be able to judge without being influenced by the background.

It's Civil War colors. This ain't even a question.

Clearly I'm in the minority here, but I like the WWI colors much better. I love the intensity of the green and the highlights add more depth to the overall look.

Sixshot is one of my all-time fav characters, but with all modern updates I prefer it when they "modernize" the color schemes etc. (that's why I generally prefer Henkei and United over Generations and RTS). It just looks more "metal" and real to me, but it's certainly a matter of taste.

Since my POV is obviously doomed to failure, I just hope they make both so that I can get the WWI version.

Is it just me, or is he holding drift's sword?

Sat Aug 13, 2011 11:18 am

isn't that Generations Drift's sword?

Edit: lol see above

Civil war. Being such a close design to G1, I can see no other option. I'm just hoping we get a GreatShot repaint! I love this design and I love my KM - 01, I will have ZERO hesitation on preordering this one! :APPLAUSE:

Sat Aug 13, 2011 11:48 am

WHAT!? This is the first i've heard of this figure!! It looks excellent!

As for the colours......civil war but would need a little bit of accent colour on the arms.IMO. But if that's not possible then i would be very tempted to hit Reprolabels and do a little custom sticker application.

Nevertheless, i'm really lookin forward to this release.

EDIT: Actually.....scratch my suggestion for accent paint apps. The more i look at it the more i like my idea of customizing some Sixshot stickers. That would make it a really classy homage figure if ya ask me.
